Just where is my  inner wisdom?

a dharma night with Mitra Mark Power

The Buddhist teachings talk of an “undeniable” inner wisdom, but the familiar presence of doubt can be more convincing. The dance between doubt and trust is the landscape of our journey, not an aberration and not a signal that something about us is fatally flawed. In this Dharma Night setting, we’ll explore the questions “How can we become curious about the sticking points in our  journey?” “How can we identify and connect with this inner wisdom?”

We’ll take a creative approach to these questions, feeling our way to identifying the signals our body and emotions give us in every moment. What does doubt feel like? What does trust in our inner wisdom feel like? It’s not enough to think our way to an answer–an experiential understanding brings renewed curiosity and energy to the dance and allows us to better connect to the music of our inner wisdom.

Dharma Nights are a time when we talk together about the dharma and its place in our lives. We explore themes of dharma, some meditation and creative contemplative exercises and, in conversation, share their impact on everyday experiences. Join us!
